Alessandro Pier Guidi
Alessandro Pier Guidi (born 18 December 1983) is a racing driver from Italy. A Ferrari factory driver since 2017, he won the LMGTE Pro FIA World Endurance Championship in 2017, 2021 and 2022, the 2019 and 2021 24 Hours of Le Mans in the LMGTE Pro class, and claimed the 24 Hours of Spa in 2021, as well as taking an overall win at the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans along with James Calado and Antonio Giovinazzi.
Pier Guidi began racing karts in 1994, a discipline he remained in until 2001. During that time, he would win the Torneo delle Industrie multiple times and took home the Italian Junior Championship in 1997. In 2002, the Italian progressed to single-seaters, driving in the Italian Formula Renault series. After a two-year hiatus from racing, Pier Guidi moved over into GT racing in 2005. Success swiftly followed, as he won the Italian GT Championship in the GT2 class and finished third in the Spanish GT Championship, having missed two rounds.[citation needed]
The following season, Pier Guidi made a step back into the single-seater scene, competing in two rounds of the F3000 International Masters. As well as that, the Italian finished fourth in the International GT Open and once again took third overall in the Spanish series. At the end of 2006, Pier Guidi joined A1 Team Italy for the opening pair of that season's A1 Grand Prix events.[citation needed]
After a one-off appearance in 2006, the GT1 category in the FIA GT Championship became Pier Guidi's home for 2007. Driving for Scuderia Playteam Sarafree, the Italian would finish the season in ninth place.[citation needed]
In 2008, Pier Guidi would be signed by Galatasaray S.K., run by Scuderia Playteam, to race in the Superleague Formula series. The Italian scored three third-placed finishes and ended up eighth in the championship. He returned to the FIA GT Championship for the second half of the subsequent year where, driving for Vitaphone Racing alongside Matteo Bobbi, Pier Guidi won the season finale at Zolder and took home fifth in the standings, despite having missed the first three rounds. In 2010, Pier Guidi would once again miss a heap of races in the newly formed GT1 World Championship, though he ended up scoring a lone podium in the Navarra qualifying race. The Superstars Series became his next destination in 2011, where he finished ninth, grabbing three podiums in another incomplete campaign.[citation needed]
Despite 2012 being another patchy year in terms of series participation, Pier Guidi would experience a triumph at the 24 Hours of Spa, where he, Andrea Bertolini, Louis Machiels, and Niek Hommerson came out victorious in the Pro-Am class, driving a Ferrari 458 Italia GT3.
For the fifth year running, Pier Guidi did not race in any one series on a full-time basis in 2013. Nevertheless, he took a GTS class win alongside Aleksey Basov in the International GT Open and took a pole position in the Blancpain Endurance Series.[citation needed]
At the start of 2014, Pier Guidi achieved major sporting success as he scored a GTD class win in the 24 Hours of Daytona partnering Scott Tucker, Townsend Bell, Jeff Segal, and Bill Sweedler at Level 5 Motorsports, with a stewards call which originally stripped the win away from the team being reversed four hours after the finish.
